Pop3.DeleteMessage Method

Flags the specified message for deletion from the server.

public bool DeleteMessage(
int index
);

Parameters

index: The ordinal position of the message in the inbox. It must be in the range 1 to InboxMessageCount.

Return Value

true if the message has been flagged for deletion; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If more than one message is deleted, it's recommended to use DeleteMessages method when possible, since it can operate much faster if the server supports pipelining.

Note Messages flagged for deletion are actually removed from the server on Disconnect method call. Until this moment, the developer can remove the deletion status for all messages flagged as deleted by calling ResetDeletes method.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
MailBeeException	An error occurred and ThrowExceptions is true.

Example

[C#]
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
using MailBee;
using MailBee.Pop3Mail;

// The actual code (put it into a method of your class).
Pop3 pop = new Pop3();
pop.Connect("mail.domain.com");
pop.Login("jdoe", "secret");
pop.DeleteMessage(1);
